Jabari Parker (Duke basketball)

Chicago Tribune

WHAT WE SAID: Even though he'll be playing for universally hated Duke, Simeon product Jabari Parker will have all eyes on him during his two years playing for the Blue Devils as people try to figure out if he's the next Derrick Rose. While he might not reach Rose level, we wouldn't be surprised to see Parker be the national freshman of the year. NOW WE KNOW: He finished his Simeon career with four state titles, and now he leads Duke with 22.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. In the words of Dickie V: "He's awesome, baby!" VERDICT: Hit
